Bordered by a vineyard and woodland, this beautiful farmhouse villa shows off Tuscany at its finest. Inside is full of rustic charm, with antique pieces and original features celebrating this home’s history, sitting alongside contemporary comforts to ensure this is a welcoming place to retreat to after exploring all that Lucca has to offer. We love the exposed stonework and wooden beams, bringing so much character to the inside space. Many a happy evening will be spent here, with the lit fire casting an amber glow into the living room while the delicate notes of the piano ring out in the air – if you’re lucky enough to be staying with someone with musical talent. The outdoor space will bring you just as much joy. Picture lazy afternoons, swimming in the pool or lounging beside it with your holiday read – that’s what holidays are made for. As hunger calls, light the wood-fired pizza oven and indulge in a traditional Italian feast on the covered terrace, soaking up the valley views and Lucca beyond. The centre of Lucca is only seven kilometres away, so on days when you’re keen to head out to explore, take a trip to the city... to wander the cobblestone streets. Blanketed in the Italian way of life, you’ll feel completely content.
